In my opinion, Casting is one of the most important processes in Pre-Production and requires a high amount of care when doing it. Casting involves running auditions from the potential actors, to find the most suitable person for your film. It is important that you find someone who is not shy in front of a camera, someone who will not burst out with laughter when filming, and someone who can create verisimilitude within the production.
To find suitable actors for our production, our group will run short auditions for the potential actors. We will give the actors short scripts to perform, and use these performances to decide whether they will be suitable.
Characters
Our film consists of 4 characters. These characters go camping, showing they are all outdoor,
adventure seeking people. My group and I evaluated the characters in our film, and what type of actor would be suitable for playing the part in our production.
Our first character is Peter. Peter was brought up by a single mother and he never met his dad, causing him to develop a wild nature, and rarely being at home. Peter is seen as the leader of the group, as he is brave and not scared to take risks. He is the loudest of the four friends, which gets him into a lot of trouble.
Elliott is seen as the weaker member of the group. He is two years younger than the rest, often resulting in him being bullied into doing things he doesn't want to do. However, Peter acts as an older brother figure over Elliot and sometimes gets protective over him.
Our third character is unnamed, as he dies early on in the production. This character is used to place the scenes of the other characters in the camp in juxtaposition, as he is running away from the 'Killer'.
Evil Steve is the villain in our production. However, Evil Steve is rarely seen. The film cuts between the group in the woods, and a Point of View from Evil Steve through parallel action.
